Wow, that'd be great, good service, thanks, I will send you a PM right away, I am a bit clumsy sometimes but the light is dear to me.
The new version IV is a real improvement by the way, the threading is so smooth that at the moment I do not dare to put it on my keychain in fear of loosing the head, great that the switching is now the other way around!
Wow, nice light Hardly dunno it will work with protected cells
On the other hand, what part should be twisted? That SS part? Just saying, because that part should have some knurling for easier operation. I see small knurling part on the head, if that is the part you need to twist - awesome.
no clip, but now that I have seen your link, I still want one of those, as well! Dual O-rings on each end, even. And, at that price, I think this will also make a terrific birthday gift for my best friend. Thanks!
It will be released by the end of the month. Price tag.. he said it will be worth the quality, considering the DQG AA is 31$ in NW, I guess this one will be around 50$.
The price might be acceptable to some, but thats at least twice what Id be willing to spend for a light like this. Im sure there are many others that would agree…
I wish there was an option of having a higher current driver though. If I only want 500 lumens I might as well stick with a AA light which will weigh less and take up less space in the pocket.
If I’m going to go to the trouble to carry around an 18650 light I want it to be able to output high lumens, even if only for a few minutes at a time due to overheating. I’d prefer the option for a 2.5 or 2.8 amp driver.
I hope it’s under $30. If so, I’ll order one.
Even if it is great quality, for me the function of this sort of light doesn’t warrant that price tag. On top of that, it has relatively simple optics which should lower costs a little. Not having glass up front means eventually having to change the TIR or live with a ‘fuzzy’ light.
2A is enough for this kind of small light!
I know my h600w heats quickly on turbo (645 lumens, probably 2A too) and it is similar in size but have cooling fins
But please make this affordable, I’m still a student and have income of ~60 euros a month only
Optional xml2 t6 3c would be the best imho
And now, a friendly announcement: (ie: cynical sense of humor): Perhaps the few that were so eager to spend the big bucks (before the price is even announced) can help offset what the light might be worth to the vast majority. Ric, please go ahead and collect from the $50 crowd first, as they are most willing to pay right away. Some might even buy the shoes off your feet (sight unseen) if you post your shoe size.
That, or please feel free to donate all that money burning holes in your pockets to the FP Avgas happiness fund. I will guarantee that your contributions will be well spent providing utter bliss to myself and many other air junkies. :bigsmile:
I’d like to see it with XP-G2 for better throw and three modes 0,05A-0,35A-1,5A in that order. With or without memory. That would be perfect EDC light.
